Below are the popular custom BBCodes that are frequently asked for on this board. All in one place with descriptions and screenshots for your convenience

To use any of the following custom BBCodes, navigate to the Posting => BBCodes section of the phpBB3 administration panel and click the "Add a new BBCode" button. Enter the respective code from below into the "BBCode usage" and "HTML replacement" boxes.

Description: Adds a black background color to the text between the tags, making it unreadable unless higlighted. Unlike the other methods of going about this, this code does not use Javascript (which some users disable) and is therefore, at least in my opinion, the best way to do it. Demo:

Maybe this is stupid question but I tought:
Is it possible to have media media player embedded in forum lets say like you have external link for your movie than you add BBcode and player starting like with those 2 of google and youtube?

Well ive done that and nothing happens. One note to is the video still able to work when the url changes to htt://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=32DF3e3 Because its automatically being added by youtube because i live in The Netherlands.

Depending on the domain name you enter to view Youtube, it will show videos using a different subdomain (http://www.youtube.com, uk.youtube.com, etc.). In this case, the BBCode would only work with the domain that you configure. So if you have http://www.youtube.com, then everyone would need to change the URI to that to get it to work.

Great job getting these all in one locatinon Marshalrusty! I'm bookmarking this thread.

Does anyone else need a non-breaking space (&nbsp;)? That's the only other BBCode I've added.

I've been messing around with adding form tags with BBCode. Has great scorn already been heaped on this idea in a different thread that someone could point me to? I assume the security risks might be too high, even in a private forum but it would be nice to have a simpler creation method for small forms.
